When Congress returns from recess they will discuss the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) which would add sexual orientation to the list of privileged–oh, uh, I mean, protected–classes. Since the ELCA just voted to allow gay clergy, if ENDA passes I look forward to applying to the ELCA as a staunch hetero-monogamous male trapped in an even severer fanatically committed heterosexually monogamous body. They won’t discriminate me based on my sexual “orientation”, right? Right. As in yeah.

This would be a wonderful overplay by Congress, a grand opportunity to for every church with a kernal of salt to lose their tax exempt status. While they’re at it, they should really consider stopping religious organizations from hiring based on religious preferences. How long will a pluralistic enlightened society such as ours put up with narrow fundamentalist bigotry and discrimination? Aslan is Tash, Tash is Aslan. Tashlan Bless America!
